Women’s track & field will kick things off at 2 p.m., on Friday with the Terrier Invitational at the BU Track and Tennis Center. The Terriers claimed first place in their opening meet of the season on Thursday. The men’s track & field team will host their Terrier Invitational on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. Sophomore Rich Peters is coming a mile time of 4:00.13, which is the top time in the NCAA so far this season.

The No. 2 men’s hockey team will host Maine at Agganis Arena on Friday night at 7 p.m., and again on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Men’s hockey is coming off a home-and-home sweep of Providence and holds a four-point lead over Boston College and Merrimack for first place in Hockey East.
